Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius novel Chapter 196
Sasha refuted, “Mom, Matthew told us before that Patrick has an extraordinary background, but you didn’t believe him at all and thought that he was lying to you. Do you remember what was your attitude toward Old Mrs. Graham and her family? Heck, you shouldn’t be so sarcastic even if they’re just common friends.”
Sasha’s words were literally exposing the bad side of Helen, who was instantly enraged. “What’s wrong with my attitude? How would I know that she has such an identity?”
James waved his hand. “That’s enough. Stop quarreling, both of you. Sasha, Old Mrs. Graham is a pleasant person. She’s modest and unassuming. You should visit her more often in the future. Do you understand?”
Sasha looked speechless. “Visit her? She treats me like her own daughter and even gives me the jade bracelet, which is their heirloom. However, you sold it away. How do you expect me to meet her without feeling ashamed?”
Helen’s face was overtaken with embarrassment. If she had known Old Mrs. Graham’s identity earlier, she wouldn’t have sold that jade bracelet.
“Isn’t it just a jade bracelet? What’s so great about it? I’ll just redeem it back tomorrow!” Helen said angrily.
Sasha rebutted, “You’re thinking of redeeming it? That shop isn’t open today. Mom, don’t you understand what that means?”
Helen gave her a glance. “What can I do now? It’s just a jade bracelet. How costly can it be? If I truly can’t redeem it, then I’ll just buy you a better one next time. What’s wrong with that? I’m your mother anyway. Is it illegal to sell off one of your jade bracelets?”
Sasha almost choked in fury. Refusing to say another word to her parents, she just brought Matthew to the other side. James and Helen ignored her too. Following the crowd, both of them wandered around Cloud Nine Villa and went to the back to enjoy the scenery.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Sasha stood at the corner of the hall for a moment. In the meantime, a few young men came over to strike a conversation with Sasha. They were all in suits and leather shoes. Plus, all of them had an influential background; they were either the heir of the Ten Greatest Families or the descendants of the entrepreneurs. When they spotted Sasha, they were all amazed by her beauty.
On the contrary, Matthew—who was beside her—wore ordinarily, so they didn’t bother about him. In fact, they even tried to flirt with Sasha in front of him. Unfortunately, Sasha wasn’t friendly toward them at all. Thus, they had no choice but to go off in a huff.
While Sasha and Matthew were strolling together leisurely, a group of young men suddenly walked up to them. The lead of the group was a young lad with a cunning look in his eyes. When he glanced at Sasha from head to toe, his eyes gleamed. He immediately got near to Sasha and said with a smile, “Hey, beautiful, you don’t look familiar. Is this your first time attending this Cloud Nine Cocktail Party? May I give you a tour around here?”
Sasha hated this kind of glib-tongued womanizer the most, so she rejected in disgust, “No, thanks.”
Enraged, the young man asked coldly, “May I know how do I address you?”
Sasha turned her head to a side and ignored him. Humiliated, the young man’s rage grew. “I’m Jaden Lach, one of the organizers of this Cloud Nine Cocktail Party. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I know everyone who comes here, but you’re the only one person I don’t know. May I ask if you have the invitation card to this event? Do you know the consequences of illegally sneaking into such a high-class place without an invitation?”
The few young men beside him started to surround them and fiercely glared at Sasha. Judging from their actions, it seemed like they were watching a thief. While Sasha started to panic, Matthew walked over and blocked her behind him.
“We’re invited by Leanna Sandal, President Sandal. Do you have a problem with that?”
